This past weekend I was privileged to be a part of the incredible Tim Tebow event that was brought to us by Trinity Christian School. There were many great stories of faith that were shared by Mr. Tebow, as well as demonstrated by him as he shared some special time with a sick child from Seagraves.

A story that was not reported was how a young lady from Oklahoma, who has been paralyzed from the waist down since she was involved in an accident four years ago, drove nine hours with her family to attend the event and see one of her heroes up close.

While here she was invited to attend the Lady Raiders softball game on Saturday where Coach Shannon Hays and the entire team welcomed her in and treated her like royalty.

I cannot say enough about the compassion and character that everyone involved in both of these events showed her as well as the young man from Seagraves. Both groups truly demonstrated the Love of Christ.

Thank you, Trinity Christian, and thank you to Coach Hays and the Lady Raiders.
